Question

PART A: Solve both linear equations for y = mx + b form. (2 points) y = -2x + 3 2x + 2y = 4

Answer 1

Answer:

(1, 1)

Explanation;

Given the simultaneous equation:

y = -2x + 3 ..... 1

2x + 2y = 4​ ...... 2

Substitute equation 1 into 2;

2x+2y = 4

2x+2(-2x+3) = 4

Expand

2x-4x+6 = 4

-2x + 6 = 4

-2x = 4 - 6

-2x = -2

Divide both sides by -2

-2x/-2 = -2/-2

x = 1

Substituting x = 1 into equation 1;

From 1:

y = -2x + 3

y = -2(1) + 3

y = -2 + 3

y = 1

Hence the solution to the system of equation is (1, 1)
